Famous courtesan freaks out !

Sucessful publisher Todd Tai networks at First Thursday

OK so we hooked you with a headline-go to the story below for the tale of Madame Lash.

Off the luxury car
home in Kings Cross of the amiable Tony Graziana's Scuderia Graziani where one can
pick up a Lamborghini, Porsche or Mercedes. Each month he is holding a
bash to raise money for the Fred
Hollows Foundation with his First Thursday parties.
This is a great cause-the Fred Hollows Foundation goes to places like
Afghanistan and Africa looking after the sight of desperately poor
people.

First Thursday
is a sort of 'networking' party for young business people which is just
what they were doing on Thursday night like crazy with silent auctions
for all sorts of luxury goods like Tancredi jewelry.

Entertainment
included the Irish comedian Paul Martellwho is one of those old fashion joke tellers but he really is
hilarious as the act builds up as you can see in the clip below. With a few celebrities and good looking folk, these regular nights are going to become popular very fast so you should consider booking tickets early.

Next
month the guest comedian will be Austen Tayshus- one of the very very
best. To attend you should contact Helle@RazorBrandAgency.com.

Adpro Management supplied the
gorgeous beauties at the party-they are also a model agency -and that's
another reason to attend. Business and beauty should always be combined,
is our motto !. Fast cars, beautiful women, wine and song and all in a
good cause.

What more could you want ?

Where was Gretel on her big night ?

Hundreds turned up at The Kirk to celebrate the birthday and book launch for Madame Lash except the lady herself. As far as we can ascertain, the fetishist has fallen out with the author of the book, Sam Everingham.

The Kirk (it has a dungeon)

The Shuttle received a rousing cheer when we assisted up the steep stairs of the Kirk in a gentlemanly fashion, the ex-fiancee of private investigator Frank Monte- Sharon Sargeantwho arrived at the same time as we did.

As the crowd parted on the red carpet they assumed it was Madame Lash making a grand entrance. Sargeant has received an extraordinary amount of publicity recently and been flooded with offers from the USA -for what we aren't quite sure yet but presumably it's something to do with the revelation she is the boss of theRedVelvet Escort and Model Agency.

Madame Lash's "autobiography" is the highly
entertaining tale of one of Australia's most colourful women (we've read it) and
dominatrix. Wowsers
beware! Gretel Pinniger, aka Madame Lash artist and courtesan to
the rich and famous has been shocking and outraging Australia for
decades. Never shy of publicity, this daughter of a handsome war hero
and philanderer from the Melbourne establishment once wanted to become a
nun.

Instead, she threw her leather-clad body into a wild world of sex,
drugs and riotous parties. She danced with Elton John, catered to Kerry Packer's brother Clyde's more creative sexual fantasies along with the successful transport boss and newspaper owner Gordon Barton and knocked around with Sydney
underworld boss Lennie McPherson.

She also found herself a fabulously
wealthy patron, who bequeathed her a generous stipend so long as his
name is never disclosed by her .
Which doesn't stop us revealing the world's worst kept secret-that patron was the English publisher Paul Hamlyn who made millions when he and his family settled in Britain after escaping Germany before WW2. Hamlyn spent 4 weeks of every year with Madame Lash. We'll leave it to your imagination what they got up to. But she does have dungeons in all her homes.
There was a tale that she one locked publisher Gordon Barton in the dungeon of her Melbourne house, hanging from a rack and went on a cocaine bender leaving him there for 48 hours before she re-called he was shackled in the basement. Fearing what she would find when she returned, a delighted Barton tripled the agreed fee, as he was so pleased with the service.
